1: Tillie, Jim, Guy and I traveled to Prague to visit John who had been working on his masters in Brussels. John's girlfriend, Tereza's, family live in Prague and they thought it would be a wonderful place for us to visit and spend time together. The city was lovely, the people were so hospitable, and Tereza's family went out of their way to make this a very memorable trip! Anne Hager July 2011
